What will we do together?

How we work depends on your needs.

There are three main ways I work: through activity, stillness and being fully present.

Activity

The process of moving and talking may enable you to share emotions which you have found hard to express, leaving you feeling more refreshed.

You may prefer to talk and walk indoors. The room I work from at the i Centre has a labyrinth which you are welcome to walk at any time. It also has disabled access as well as tea and coffee facilities nearby.

When you have time to become still you may become more aware of how you are feeling. Emotions you have kept suppressed may begin to well up. Allowing these powerful emotions and feelings to come out into the open with someone who is prepared to be with you can be a deeply healing process.

Being fully present.

Sometimes a chance encounter with a bird or animal may trigger something for you. The weather or the state of the landscape may mirror what is going on in your life. We may use art or writing materials to explore this in more depth.
